You can monitor the process flow of exports and imports. Export and import information is written to log files that you can call, check, and evaluate during running transports or after they finish.
Calling Export and Import Information
During the transport, a transport package can have the following statuses:
Planned
Running
Completed
You can find relevant information about each status of an export or import in the overviews. For example, you can call up the number of transported items, the size of the transported items, or the duration of the process.

Calling up the Log Files
The log files contain detailed information and the time stamp. To call up a log file for an export or import, choose Display in the Log column.
The log file records status information for each transported item as follows.
Exported - the item was successfully exported.
Imported - the item was successfully imported.
Skipped - the item was recognized as not being relevant for the transport because of a filter setting. It was therefore not transported.
Error - the item was not transported because an error occurred.
